"Always glad I'm coming to the centre but would like more choice of food"

I look forward to coming to the day centre. I’ve been coming for over a year now, twice a week. I started with one day a week but I was quite lonely so wanted to come more often. After my husband died loneliness has been the worst thing.

I’m always glad on days I’m coming to the centre but I am fed up with soup and sandwiches. The food is always the same. We used to sometimes get fish and chips, this was a nice change, the caretaker would go and get it for us. Sometimes one of the staff makes a toastie but that’s off their own back.

Something I really liked recently at the centre was the Halloween party. It was great; there was music and nibbles and a quiz.
